I have been hearing about cloth diapers for the last few months on a
daily basis. Everyone is using cloth these days and I have to be honest
with you, I could not imagine why. I was told several times, by
numerous people one sunny summer day that I should use cloth diapers ...
they are healthier, better for the environment, cost-efficient ... A
friend of mine continued to go on and on about how fabulous and superior
they are and it was at that time that I decided to go ahead and give
them a one month trial run in the household. She even made me promise
that I would do it for an entire month. No fingers crossed, I agreed!
I
was nervous ... down-right scared you could say. I even had a dream,
or should I say a nightmare about the cloth diapering experience. I
really did not want to do it, but I had made a promise to a friend and
there was no turning back ...
My
commitment left me with a big problem. There are literally dozens and
dozens of companies out there that make cloth diapers. What kind should
I use? My friend suggested Glow Bug Cloth Diapers, so I sent them an
email and they sent me a diaper.
Cloth diapers these
days are nothing like they used to be. Gone are the days of big white
rags, dangerous safety pins and plastic covers. The modern diaper is
oh-so-cute and super easy to wash, easy to use and keeps baby dry and
comfortable. A least that is what my friend had told me. We will see?,
I thought, We will see?
Glow Bug Cloth Diapers Review
The
first thing that I noticed is how excellent the Glow Bug customer
service is. They were aware that I was a "rookie" and helped me with
any and all questions that I had about diapering. I had a pretty clear
understanding of cloth diapering, via the Glow Bug website and excellent
attention to my questions from Glow Bug customer service before even
receiving the diaper in the mail.
Waiting for my diaper to arrive, I began to study the history and story of the company.
Glow Bug was born from the cloth diaper needs of two yoga moms Sarah and Neta, who befriended during pre-natal yoga class.
Frustrated that they could not find a quality, affordable cloth diaper
that fit all the criteria of a superior diaper, they created Glow Bug.
As
I studied the company I became excited about Glow Bug. I did the math
and realized how affordable cloth diapering would be (compared to
disposable) and how completely adorable the styles are that are
available. I could help our beautiful mother earth, protect my child
from the harmful chemicals in disposable diapers, save loads of money
and have something important to talk about. I must admit that by the
time that diaper arrived I was already sold on the idea of cloth
diapering ... at least in theory!!!
My
Glow Bug arrived quickly, within a week or so ... I received one,
one-size pocket diaper with snaps (the only available diaper from Glow
Bug) and two absorbent snap-in inserts. I immediately noticed the
vibrant colors and high quality of the diaper. The true test for me is
all in the experience ... and so ... I did as the directions said and
washed them first before using.
Washed and ready for
use, I began to study my Glow Bug. A glow bug diaper will fit your baby
from the day they are born until the potty training years
(7lbs-35lbs). I noticed all the great features ... snap-in inserts,
waterproof flaps, SlimDry™ fabric ... (See below for entire list, video
and picture of features)
The Verdict ...
Cloth
Diapering Rocks. After I received one diaper from Glow Bug for review
purposes, I quickly ordered an entire set so that I would be able to
cloth diaper exclusively. Honesty, my glow bug experience has really
been rewarding. I did not have any problems with them and learning
really was a snap ... It really is easier than you may think.
Glow Bug diapers are stylish, with original prints that I
have not been able to find anywhere else. The designs are fabulous.
Cloth diapering turns diapers into a fashion statement. It is awesome.
If you are new to diapering you, like me I immediately thought that
cloth diapering is great ... and it is, but the reason I was so
successful with it immediately is because I began with this diaper.
Glow Bug spoiled me right away. When you find something this good,
there is no need to use any other kind ... and if you are worried about
new styles for your little one, Glow bug creates new styles often. One
diaper will fit for years, because of the adjustable nature of the
diaper. They come in sets of 12, with either boy,
girl or neutral fabrics and colors, 24 inserts and a free cool, designer
wet bag. The entire package is $150.00.
Glow Bug Diapers are the perfect gift for your loved one!
